It is extremely important to stay connected to close family and friends whom may live far away while going through treatment. Although Travis may not always feel like talking on the phone, others can still hear about his day by logging into the blog. Updates on Travis’ feelings, pain, relief and doctors’ advice can all be available to far away caring individuals through this blog. Our blog has already touched so many people who cannot be here by Travis’ side through this tough time in his life.
My goal of this blog from the beginning is to inform others going through this same experience; whether you are a patient or a loved one. I am very thankful that my plan is working to keep many of you informed. Below is a picture of our Grandfather reading the blog as we are here in Oregon/Washington and he is in Wagner, SD.

Grandpa thought it was pretty cool that he could read the blog on your moms i-pad. He could just get attached to it and I may have to buy him one sometime in the future. It’s just the right size
These blogs do help us understand all that Travis is going through and what his needs are. We truly do appreciate this when we cannot be there with him, as our hearts would love us to be able to be there. Thanks for doing this:)! We love you all.

Thank you for sharing your joruney. I pray that all is well with you now and sorry to hear you had to go through this
My daughter was diagnosed yesterday and she is now #18. The only thing is that she is 16 and the first at this young age to be diagnosed with MASC. We are on pins and needles, as they are dumb founded because of her age and not too sure what route to take.
GOD is good, as this is not my daughters first bout with cancer. She was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2007. If she can beat cancer before, she can beat it again.
God Bless You!
My dad was just diagnosed with the same rare cancer that you had. We are in for a long haul. Thanks for the blog. He’s happy to know he’s not alone.
Hey there. Thanks for this Blog. I’m patient #196. Diagnosed on December 21 2014. Exactly one month after my surgery to remove my tumor from my left parotid gland. Now 6 months later (everyone thinks I’m nuts but I know my body, I found the first tumor) I feel a new lump forming and growing in the exact same spot from the excision site. But it’s so small. You think early would be great! But no, they want to wait and watch for at least s month. Torture. And every moron in my life saying try not to think about it just makes me want to put my fist through the wall. thsnks for giving us a place to feel not so alone.
